Thanks,

I have a portable USB drive formatted as above, it is not a flash drive but it is a USB drive which OS can be installed from

Is there a way Unibeast can recognize it and install using it. This USB drive is only used as a carrier of that insulation

16. UniBeast will only write to an external drive with a partition of 32 GB or less. Larger drives will need to be partitioned.

UniBeast doesn't care what the USB drive is as long as it meets the above requirement.

I got a new USB Flash Drive but it still fails to create the installer after multiple attempts.

I downloaded highSierra multiple time Stopped it as it always tries to install itself. I then and tried to install the 8.3 Unibest App and it fails It fails to create the drive

This error is caused by either a USB port or USB stick issues.

What system and version of macOS are you running UniBeast on?

Thanks so much!

I am using the latest High Siera Have tried on my MacPro 5,1 and my MacBook Pro

Since you are seeing the error on 2 different Macs then the USB stick has issues.
